Senator Edmunds justified his determine
tion to prevent bills of Importance from
passing the Senate during the closing hours
Of the session without examination when he
said that at the last session of the last Con-
gress, as President pro tempore, he submit
ted bills from the House and declared them
passed, when not single vote was cast on
either side; and that a considerable part of
the time he was alone in the Senate chamber,
and that even at that rate some of the great
appropriation bills were barely passed and
signed before the hour of the expiration of
Congress. Such is not honest legislation
toward the people.

Mr.. Mccarthy asks our irish citizens to
vote solidly for him for the reason that he is
an Irishman. That is a reason which he
himself has not recognized inasmuch as he
has refused to vote for an Irishman on the
ground that he was Republican.

The contest is between Mr.. Chapman and

The sharp criticism of Mr. Reed of Maine
on the conduct Of the committee on appro-
priations in delaying the bill until the last
days of the session, when there was no time
to debate it or hardly even to understand it,
was entirely just and called for. No valid
excuse can be offered for such conduct, and
it is by no means certain that it would not
be better to have an extra session than to
submit to it.

presence of MIR. Davis, tho balance of

of the bombardment, Mr.. Tcombs was,
as was his custom, pac.1g the floor.
When it came his turn 70 express his
opinion, to the amazomont of all he
vehemcntly opposed the attack, and
made one of the most remarkable
speeches of all his Iifo in opposition to
it. He said it would be the doom Of the
COnfoderacy. He said: "Let Charleston
go. Give up Sumter. Let it bo pro-
visioned, but never explode the volcano
that is under our feet" lie said it was
suicide and madness and would lose us
every friond in all the North, and ex
all his magnificent powers in
opposition to the attack. He said: "Mr.
President, you will wantonly strike
hornets nest that fills the North from
ocean to ocean, and legions, now quiet, |
will swarm out to sting us to death. 1t |
is unnecessary; it puts us in the wrong;
it is fatal" And SO il was. Toombs was

statesmen of the Southern Confcderacy.

Negroes and SInstrokc.

The physicians of the Pennsylvania
hospital assert that they havo no record
of colored person suffering from sun
stroke being admitted to that institution,
This IS u remarkable fact. 1t is enough
to mako white folks enyious in this sort
Of weather.
Most people would imagine that
colorcd people wore far less apt to be
overcome by the heat than their .Cau-
casian brethren, but it is rather strange
TO learn that, in hospital where scores
OF sunBtroke cases are attended, not q
single case can be found of black man
sunstruck.
In the first surprise at this inforfna-
ton one might imagine that good way
for people to avoid being overcome by
the torrid heat of summer would be to
make liberal applications of burnt cork
to their skins, There is something so
simple and easy in this suggestion that,
| if it were not for appearances, it might
be oxperimented with by the whole pop
ulation of Philadelphia.
1t mightif it wore not for the fact that
tho records of other cities, particularly
cities in the South, show that negroes
are sunstruck. This is rather beWilder-
ing. 1t is, as one may say, dazing.
And the conclusion to which it leads is
that Philadelphia darkies arc peculiarly
particular in hot weather to avoid hard
work and keep out of the sun.-Phila-

stalk and blades, after removing the
ears, as so much roughness, or "stover," "
fit only to be picked over by cattle, and
the bulk of it trampled under foot into
the manure. With their rich meadows
and mowers they cannot afford the
tedious labors involved and meagre re-
turns from the practice of fodder-pulling
as followed by Southern farmers. They
are right, and we are wrong in this mat
ter. Ii only the labor devoted to pull
ing and housing corn blades in the
South were employed in preparing
meadows and moving grass the result
would add millions of dollars to the
value of our farm results. We would
then be encouraged to increase the area
devoted to grass for moving to any de-
sired extent, until our barns would be
filled with plenty for horses, mules,
sheep and cattle, and the sorry spectacle
of half-famished animals, shivcring in
the cold and rain, and moaning for their
stinted and often forgotten allowance of
shucks, would be banished from among
us.
TO do this we are not dependent on
the doubtful success or tho standard hay
grasses from abroad. We have our own
native-at least thoroughly naturalizcd
crab gra3s, crowfoot, Bermuda, and
several species Of paspalums; besides
several species of millet, Indian corn,
clover, lucern etc. OF course, if thorc
is no other resource for hay, and nothing
moro profitable for the hands to do, the
fodder should bo pulled. A common
field hand, costing say fifty cents day,
can save one dollars worth of fodder,
and possibly pot seriously injure tho
corn-a very good operation. Tho plan
of cutting the stalks down will not
answer in our climate, and without other
resource of better forage.
WHAT MAY BE PLANTED.
August has sometimes been called n
second spring, in allusion to tho fact
that many of the crops planted first in
the earlier months may again be put in,
but chiefly because it is the beginning
OF seedtlme for oil Of the grasses and
small grain. Many of the garden vego-
tables, including turnips, bcets, beans,
tomatoes, Irish potatoes, etc., may be
planted with reasonable prospect Of sue
cessful results. 1t is the main month
for sowing all the roughleavcd varieties
of turnips. Success depends than
IN the spring-on deep preparation,
liberal manuring with well rotted stable
manure, or quickly soluble fertilizers,
and, good seasons. With little effort,
and reasonable weather, most of tho
garden vegetables may be had in plenty
until frost. We have several times sue
cecded well in producing m abundant
supply of tomatoes from plants grown
from cutting off the old plants. 4 cut
ting containing a vigorous shoot, with a
portion of the older stem attached, will
readily strike root; and if set in deep
ly dug soil and shaded for few days it
will soon como into bearing and continue
until killed by frost.

The lecture of Sam Jones on "Charac-
ter and Character" is going on, and as |
now write in hearing of much he says,
it is clear that he has his audience well
in hand and is playing upon the thou
sands who listen as tho harper plays
upon the strings of his instrument. AS
often, on an average, as once minute
there bursts forth the most stormy APP
plause. The man is at his best, and this
is with him field day. He has Iistin-
guished between character and reputa-
tion, character and orthodoxy, character
and professions and relations, and is
now picturing the relation of character
to temperance, high-liconso, prohibition
and a great many other interests of
practical life. He is absolutely fearless,
and really he loves shining mark. He
has no more love or reverence for lords
and mobiles, judges and bishop8, than for
tramps, when discussing questions OF
right and wrong. He seems to be oh
livious to everything but one, and to
concentrate himself into lightning bolt
for the purpose Of striking The one point

DEATH or y FAMOUS UNION SPY.
pardaw Warsley, WHO Followed NID3by
and Lee, is No More.

pardaw Warslcy, WHO Followed Mosby
and Lee, is No More.
Pardaw Warslcy, the "Union spy of
the Shenandoah" died at his home at
Foster Brook, n. Y, last week, aged
sixty-scvcn years. Beginning life as a
fancy goods merchant in Massachusetts,
at the opening Of the war he raised q
company Of the Fourteenth Massachu-
scttS Heavy Artillery. He was soon
afterwards employed by Major General
Is. F. Butler in the name Of the United
States TO go into tho British provinces to
look into the system of blockade running
then i'll vogue. He was successful in
this mission, for Major-General G. c..
Augur, in his report OF August 25, 1865,
says that 1t was through the instrumer-
tality Of Mr.. Warsley that the extensive
system OF blockade-running from Balti-
more and Washington was broken up.
Alter returning from this trip Warsley
Went out as q spy upon Mosby under
Augur, though not until he had returned
10 Boston and married Helen isabelle
Francis, who survives him.
~, Accompanied by his young wife,
Warsley, set out ostensibly upon a ped.
dung trip through Virginia. His real
OBJECT was soon suspected by Mosbv,
and spy was placed upon his track
The spy was handsome young Iady
who was to be conducted to Washington
by Wnrsley. The Union spy was too
smart to be caught, and, instead Of
using his pass through the Union lines,
he conducted the lady through swamps
and by-roadS until she became disp11sted
with the trip, and she returned to Mosby
convinced Of tho loyalty Of Warslev,
Mosby was not convinced, and at one
time placed pistol to Warslcy's head,
threatening to blow his brains out. The
young lady intorccded and Warsley's
life was saved. Afterwards Mosby be.
came his firm friend, fighting n duel
with nephew of General Leo because
Lieutenant Ice had set guard upon
Warsley and had condemned him as q
spy. On two occasions Warsley furnish
ed information by which tho Federal
forces were enabled to surround the
house in which Mosby was quartered,
but tho dashing Rebel cut his way out
and escaped. On several occasions
Warsley got information of intended
raids upon Washington in time to allow
the authorities to mass their forces and
save the capital.
at the time of the assassination Of
resident Lincoln Warsoy was given
command con of squad of detectives.
When Booth askilled Warsloy returned
70 private life, and for years ran a parl
'o''"uraht In the Bradford oil fields.
